An insider has claimed that Kanye West could see a serious dent in his bank account thanks to his NSFW Grammys stunt with wife Bianca Censori.

In one of the most talked about moments from music's biggest night of the year, Ye, 47, and Censori, 30, rocked up to the red carpet before Censori dropped her black fur coat to reveal a completely nude, see through dress.

The moment turned into a frenzy on social media, with many questioning the meaning behind the controversial fashion choice and rumours swirling over whether the pair has been kicked out of the event following the stunt.

West denied the rumours himself in a since-deleted Instagram post where he hit out at journalist Don Lemon, writing: "This the goofball that started the rumor that me and my wife got kicked out the Grammies 3 decades of innovating music and they always K***S like this."

In response, Lemon clapped back: "First of all, Kanye... Ye, yay - whatever your name is. I did not start a rumor about you being kicked out of the Grammys, I actually corrected it.

"I saw someone on your team who asked me to correct it because it had been reported everywhere. So first of all, get your s*** straight, and you of all people calling me a k**n. That 'Make America Great Again' hat must be too tight on your head."

Regardless of the backlash, the rapper seems happy with the risqué style choice as he explained the dress was 'custom couture'.

"Custom Couture Grammy dress for the most beautiful ever," he posted on Instagram. "My love, my best friend and my wife."

But while Ye seems happy, his investors might not share the same enthusiasm, according to one insider.

The rapper - who was nominated for Best Rap Song at this year's Grammys for his track 'Carnival' - is due to take to the stage for two shows at the Tokyo Dome in May in a contract worth an eye-watering $20 million, but a source told the MailOnline that his Grammys stunt has been 'greeted with horror' from bosses.

"Kanye is just f***ing up every opportunity that comes to him. The stunt was creepy beyond belief and has been greeted with horror in Japan," the source claimed, alleging the rapper has lost out on the lucrative deal.

UNILAD has reached out to West's reps on the claims.

Adding that Japan is in the midst of a 'cultural awakening' about women's rights, they continued: "He has completely culturally misjudged Japan."

And it's not just money trouble that some are speculating on but legal consequences too, with some fans having gone as far as to question whether Censori could run into trouble with the law for her Grammys outfit.

Under California law, 'the crime of Indecent Exposure occurs when a person exposes his or her naked body or genitals in front of anyone who could be annoyed or offended by it. While most people think it only happens in public, Indecent Exposure can happen.'

Indecent exposure can reportedly be punishable by up to six months in prison or a fine of up to $1,000, however, according to TMZ, LAPD sources have said they haven't received any complains about the outfit, and it's unlikely the model would be punished for it anyway.

Grammys 2025 most shocking fashion moments

Jaden Smith

Along with his classic black tuxedo, Jaden Smith opted for an unusual headpiece which included a castle with a tiny cut-out hole for his face.

Some fans think he was referencing Willem Dafoe who was famously pictured wearing a similar headpiece during a GQ Italy shoot centred on the notion 'Home Is Where Your Head Is'.

Jennifer Lopez

The singer left fans divided over her outfit as she rocked up donning a black cropped turtleneck top alongside a structured sheer skirt by Stéphane Rolland.

While some fans loved the out-there look, others brutally said it looked as though she'd forgotten to pull her dress up all the way. Yikes.

Julia Fox

The Uncut Gems actress strutted her stuff on the red carpet sporting an all-black ensemble including an oversized leather jacket along with statement yellow latex gloves.

Safe to say some fans were baffled by the hand gear, as one joked they'd been 'looking for' their cleaning gloves.

The LA recording artist was joined by a special guest on the Grammys red carpet... a glittery, bejewelled snake.

Alongside his slithery friend, he opted for a simple satin black suit.
